Never Scare Animals: Animals are easily startled. Give animals enough room and time to adjust to you. When passing horses, use special care and follow directions from the horseback riders (ask if uncertain). Rules of the Trail

Well friday afternoon was my first time with my new wheel setup and going tubeless. First off I went from a nev.sb8 combo switched out to NoNi/RaRa combo and tubeless. Im not sure, but everywhere I read that I should be using about 30psi, since im about 230, which is way more psi i used to run tubed. The bike seemed to haul ass and be smooth as butter on the fire roads. Only problem is I was worried as hell I was gonna pop the tire/burst a bead, or rip it. How long did it take for some of you guys to get over that feeling if you had it at all. I was really worried on bridges, in then end the first voyage was great hoping to get back to alafia on sunday for some more.

Depending on the rim and tire combo, you dont have much to worry about. I run captain control on arch rims at 14-16 psi on the front, and 18-20 on the rear. Never had a problem, and I am riding at 215 lbs

On my Salsa im running the SunRingle Charger pros with Nics up front and Ralphs out back. Im worried about that feeling on the rear when im taking a turn and i can feel the sidewall shift like it could pop. Up front I really want to run about 22psi which is what i ran when tubed, but after doing some reading all the big guys seem to be 27+ when tubeless. i guess ill give it a shot hopefully its not too cold in the morning.

I run the same setup in the rear, except the rims are 2011, and have never burped or rolled it. I generally run the rear ~28psi or so and weigh 165. Were the tires new when you bought them or is there a chance that the beads had been stretched some?

Just curious as I did burp the Ikon on the front once when I clipped a rock, but the Aspen has been solid.

Thats good to know, i think the sunringle rims are actually wider then my flows. Anyone ride this morning? I had no idea it was gonna be this cold. if by 11 it doesnt warm up some more im in for the day sucks.

I weigh 180, the Aspens were brand new on the rims, but I will admit after it rolled off I was able to easily mount it again by hand with no lever. Really loose maybe a fluke, but I will talk to my LBS.

The Mrs. has the Aspens on my old ZTRs and I would run those considerably lower when they were on my bike. Ran 40 today with no issues, but you know...
